Dear Beloved Shining Star, Family, Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! As we rejoice in celebrating the 105th anniversary of this cherished and blessed ministry my heart overflows with gratitude and joy. This milestone is not just a testament to the longevity of our church but a reflection of God's unwavering faithfulness and the dedication of each member of this faith community from its conception to this present moment. Over the years, we have faced challenges and triumphs, weathered storms, withstood the attacks of the enemy and basked in blessings. Through it all, we have remained steadfast in our mission to serve God, uplift one another, and extend our hands to those in need. Our journey together has been marked by countless acts of love, grace, and kindness all of which have woven the beautiful tapestry that is our church family. As we reflect on the past 105 years, let us remember the many saints who have gone before us, laying the foundation upon which we stand today. Their sacrifices, prayers, and unwavering faith have paved the way for us to continue the work of Christ in our community and in our world. We honor their legacy by carrying forward the torch of faith, hope, and love. In this season of celebration, let us also look to the future with renewed hope and determination. There is still much work to be done, and I am confident that, with God's guidance and your continued dedication and hard work, we will continue to make a profound impact in the lives of those we serve. Let us embrace the opportunities that lie ahead, trusting that God will equip us with the strength and wisdom needed to fulfill our calling. I am deeply grateful for each one of you. Your faithfulness, generosity, and unwavering support have been a source of inspiration and encouragement to me and to one another. I am as well grateful that God has allowed me to be a part of this great ministry and serve as your Pastor for the past ten years. What a honor and blessing have been bestowed upon me. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, let us recommit ourselves to the mission of our church united in love and purpose. May the Lord bless you abundantly and grant us many more years of fruitful ministry together. Happy 105th anniversary, dear Shining Star family!

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland (1965). I attended Baltimore City public schools and graduated from Baltimore City College in 1973. I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior in March of 1980. My early Christian years were spent singing on various choirs at the First Baptist Church of Cherry Hill and doing Street Evangelism. I moved my membership to Shining Star Baptist Church of Middle River in 1984 where I have served as Assistant Pastor from 1999 until January 2015 when I was Blessed to be chosen as Pastor of Shining Star Baptist Church. I studied at Arlington Bible College and spent some time studying at Baltimore School of the Bible. I attended Lancaster Bible College for two years majoring in Christian Counseling. I currently teach Christian Missions at Baltimore School of the Bible. I was licensed to preach in 1986 and ordained in 1991. I am married to the most loving woman (Alanda) and we have been married for 31 years. We have three wonderful children (Tamariah 41, Fredric 37 and Courtney 28). We are blessed with two grandchildren (Malik and Kalla). In November 2013 we became the proud parents of Chance Bentley Barber (2). I am the Founder and President of Friends of Africa Mission Ministries Inc. established in 2000 and ministering in Ghana West Africa amongst Muslims in the Ashanti Region. I have been organizing and leading Mission trips to Ghana since 1999, but I myself, I have been going there since 1997. I have served as a Board Member of AARAMA (African Americans Reaching Africa Ministers Association) ministering in Kenya East Africa. I served as a member of the Board of Directors for Searchlight Global Missions. The Lord has permitted me to travel across the United States speaking and teaching at many Mission Conferences over the years. I served at President of the Foreign Mission Board for the Harford, Baltimore and Cecil Counties Ministers and Deacons Union for 8 years. I am an Evangelist/Tent Revivalist. Most of all, I am a child of the King. Whatever I have accomplished in this life is all because of God's grace. He has blessed me to be an Instrument in His hand. It is not I, but Christ who lives in me. Your Servant in the Service of Our Lord, Pastor Curtis T. Barber Biography for Pastor Curtis T. Barber
